WATCH: Tom Daley Comes Out! Says He’s Happy And Dating A Guy

Though there has been a fair amount of speculation, and many a furtive wet dream, leading up to this moment, Olympic diving twunk (twink + hunk) Tom Daley has come out.

In a video he posted to his YouTube today, Daley admits he’s only been willing to talk about things with which he’s comfortable. Now that he’s in a serious relationship, having met and fallen for a guy recently, he’s been able to take a figurative dive by publicly acknowledging his sexuality for the first time.

“Now I kind of feel ready to talk about my relationships,” Daley says. “Come spring this year, my life changed. Massively. When I met someone. And it made me feel so happy. So safe. And everything just feels so great. Well, that someone is a guy.”

Daley says he was “taken by surprise” by his new relationship, and though he still “fancies” girls, he says he couldn’t be happier.

Maybe that’s what that clandestine coffee canoodling with Dustin Lance Black was about back in October. Perhaps he was seeking coming-out advice. Or maybe there was something more. Either way, mazel! Welcome to the family, Tom.  In celebration, here’s a gif that never gets old:



Congrats!

LOOK: Tom Daley And Dustin Lance Black Caught Chatting Over Coffee In Hollywood

A starstruck Queerty reader snapped this photo of openly gay Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black and openly straight Olympic diver Tom Daley leaving The Coffee Bean in Hollywood last week.

Since Daley recently came into the closet as an avowed heterosexual — to a chorus of raised eyebrows no doubt recalling the gay-baiting he’s become famous for on his Twitter and Instagram accounts — we presume nothing.

But we do have a series of questions. Were they meeting to discuss a secret film project? Did Daley have a change of heart and sought coming out advice in anticipation of National Coming Out Day? Were they on a date — of the bromantic or romantic kind? Who knows? Our source says the two where chummy but did not appear to be canoodling.

Since Black gave his famous Academy Award speech, he has become a minor magnet for stars and starlets, including Taylor Lautner. We reached out to him for comment, but the boy who cried werewolf was mum on his freshly brewed rendezvous.
